BRED BY M, A. HUCHEDE, with dark brown patches, often mingled with grey hairs ; or white-grey with lighter brown or yellow patches. The height may be 23 inches, and the weight 56 lb. Mr. Korthals had the finest team of these Griffons that has ever been seen. Occasion- ally he exhibited specimens in England, and classes were given for the breed by the Kennel Club at the show held at Barn Elms in the Jubilee year. On one occasion, at the Agricultural Hall, Mr. Korthals gained with one of his Griffons the special prize offered for the best sporting dog in the show owned by a foreigner. At the present time Mr. A. Huchede, of Montjean, Mayenne, is perhaps the most prominent owner of the breed in France. His Porthos and Nero were famous a few years ago, and his Rip du Makis excels alike as a show dog and as a successful worker in field Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Leighton, Robert, 1859-.
